One of the top places to rent

This place was absolutely amazing and over delivered on everything we wanted. Nathan was super helpful and provided detailed instructions so we had absolutely no questions and the process from check-in to check-out was incredibly simple. I am already looking at dates in the winter to come back and enjoy some skiing.

Perfect spot to enjoy with friends

This was an amazing property! The house was beautiful, clean, and accommodated our group of friends to celebrate a number of us turning 50. The views were stunning. While in the area we enjoyed the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, breweries, wineries, and delicious food! The owner was easy to work with and communicated very well prior to and during our stay. Would definitely return!

Clean and cozy

We weren’t sure what to expect when we checked in with warm weather, since we were hoping we’d be out skiing most of the time. Despite the lack of snow, we had a great time…and the place was super clean and decorated very cute for the holidays. Owner was very patient and responsive with a few questions I had ahead of time. Great location!

The perfect ski in ski out!

This house was perfect for our two families with five children. Every detail (even sound machines in every bedroom) was thought of by our hosts to make it the perfect winter stay. Puzzles, games, books, crockpot, skillet… everything you need for an easy pack! Skiing in and out of the house was so convenient and even a fun little run down the hill to the lodge market store or pub. We will definitely be back!

We had an incredible stay at Crystal Mountain! My husband and I took our three kids (8, 6, and 3) for a quick late summer weekend and we had the best time! The house could not have been better - great location, right next to the private community pool, ski in/ski out. Not to mention how unbelievably well-stocked and impeccably clean it was. Only issue was the washer wasn't working correctly, but the owners let us know ahead of time and we're super communicative about everything.Great weekend, great house -- we will rent this house again!

This was our first time staying in Nathan’s condo, but we have stayed at Crystal Mountain many times before in various locations around the resort. The mountaintop is our favorite. The condo was beautiful inside and very comfortable. It was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. We were provided with everything that we needed for a great stay. Nathan is very attentive and responds to messages quickly. Bring items to make s’mores because there is firewood stocked by the fire ring next to the pool. You will have a lovely stay here.

This is my family's 3rd year enjoying this beautiful Condo with my two sons and wife and girlfriend and two grandkids! They all absolutely love it! It's the best Condo on the mountain, allowing us quick access to the hill and has plenty of room to comfortably accommodate us all for sleeping, meals and games.

Wonderful Ski Weekend

My brother-in-law and his family came up from Tennessee to ski with us for four days. Nathan’s property was perfect! The six kids who ranged in age from 4-19 years old could ski in and out. We only ate out once, and the kitchen was so well equipped -one of the best we have ever rented at Crystal Mountain. The property was spacious and clean. Thanks Nathan for making our weekend so fun and the quality time we were seeking together.
